Bart Project

This document proposes expanding the Bay Area's public transportation system, BART, through the addition of new tracks, stations, bridges, and tunnels. It estimates that the total infrastructure cost would be $1.055 billion and take approximately 14 years to complete. The expansion would add around 80 miles of new track to connect the North Bay, South Bay, and East Bay regions, with the goal of lowering carbon emissions, decreasing traffic, and making commutes easier and faster.
